I have a confession …. I have not been cooking much this year at all … 😳 . Experiencing perimenopausal symptoms in our all year round hot, humid tropical weather is sheer torture! To cook in a situation like that is to be drenched in sweat from the hair down to the toes! 😆

That’s why my post title, “What am I cooking for dinner today?” is a big deal to me. Today, I am prepared to get all hot and bothered to cook a delicious dinner as a treat for my family…. and … heheh, because I am beginning to feel guilty! Those of you who have been following my blog all these years will know I have not posted many recipes lately. 😉

I woke up very early this morning, with the memory of a ghostly nightmare still fresh on my mind. I had dreamt of the house where I had stayed more than 15 years ago. That reminded me of the ghostly happenings at my previous home and I decided that I should start a new page on Ghost Stories here, where I will be compiling a collection of supernatural tales…read about my haunted bungalow here ===>

I first heard of this Hak Min Jeong Guan (“Black Face General” in the Cantonese dialect) many years ago when a friend of mine took this herb regularly as a cancer-prevention measure when both her parents passed away from cancer within one year. This plant’s scientific name is “Strobilanthes Crispus”, in Malay it’s “Pecah Beling”, “Keji Beling” in Indonesia and “Hei Mian Jiang Jun” in Mandarin.

Today, I was looking for a book when I came upon my old Tung Shu book, also known as “The Ancient Chinese Almanac”.

As I have been collecting many articles over the years on signs and omens, I decided to post here on auspicious and interesting intepretations of dreams according to ancient Chinese beliefs and Indian Feng Shui for your interest. 😉

I have separated the dreams interpretation into 2 parts – the first one is from the viewpoint of the Chinese Almanac based on beliefs that date back 3,000 years ago, while the second part is according to Indian Feng Shui or Vasthu Sastera, which is about 2,000 years old. 😉

The Chinese dream interpretation is based on the writings of Chou Kung, the Duke of Chou, who was supposed to have lived c. 1020 BC, and he was reputed to have assisted in the compilation of the I Ching, one of the most ancient and mysterious of the divination books of China. The dream interpretations associated with him are well known and his name and its link has passed into the language in a number of ways. For example, a person who has been asleep will say that “he has gone to find Chou Kung,” a phrase that we commonly use to refer that we have been asleep and been dreaming! 😆

Check out now the dream references below and see if you have had any of those LUCKY dreams there before. Have fun and Good Luck! 💡
